As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 380 Land
Anyone with a little brain can deduce that the magical world is not as simple as it seems.

It will definitely not be an easy game.

This is already a consensus in the outside world.

Because from the perspective of Kechuang Bio's previous product pricing strategy, it is a very normal company, and due to its monopoly position in technology, it will enjoy a certain premium.

The pricing of "future" is completely inconsistent with the market economy, and everyone does not understand Zheng Li, even the employees who joined Kechuang Biotech when it was first established, also do not understand Zheng Li.

In the eyes of the outside world, there is a very close connection between Zheng Li and Mei Lin.It is even possible that Zheng Li is the incarnation of Merlin in the world.

Therefore, virtual reality devices are considered to have other purposes. As for the specific purpose, there are various speculations on the Internet.

But "future" has the purpose of not only grabbing economic benefits, but many people's views are filled in every corner of the Internet.

"Magic Academy" is related to magic, and you can even get magic coins directly from it.

It is speculation to be able to obtain magic coin.

It is too difficult for most people to calculate the cosmic coordinate system that satisfies the Heber constant in the real world.

Almost an impossible task.

Even Luo Shu, who has a doctorate in astronomy and a small family, spent more than ten years but failed to obtain a magic coin from within Apple.

Not to mention ordinary people.

And it would be great if the clues of magic coin can be found directly in the virtual world.

The power structure in Malaysia is very complicated. Unlike the Lion City, which is concentrated in the hands of one person, its power is very decentralized.

The system is weird.

In 16, Malaysia was rated as a flawed democracy by The Economist magazine.

The power of the head of state, the theoretical supreme power holder, has been repeatedly limited.

Specific to each state, there is a struggle for power between the crown and the elected government.

Netizens in Huaguo can often see how Chinese in Malaysia support Huaguo on Huaguo’s social media. It’s not just as simple as loving Huaguo’s culture.

The reason behind this is precisely because of the Malaysian system. According to the Malaysian constitution, the status of Malays is higher than that of non-Malays. Among them, the largest group of non-Malays is the Chinese.

The Malays, the royal family and the government have used various means to limit the living space of the Chinese.

The Chinese need a strong mother country behind them to back them up and avoid being cut off in the harsh living environment of Southeast Asia.

This is the root cause of the unprecedented support of Malaysian Chinese for China.

At the same time, it is precisely because of the proportion of Malays and Chinese in Malaysia that Lion City was clearly a city in Malaysia before, but they insisted on making Lion City independent.

Because the multi-racial vision of Malaysia proposed by Lao Li when he was a Member of Parliament in Malaysia and the Malay priority in Malaysia are incompatible.

Lao Li was a key promoter of winning the support of Malaysia and the Federation of Lion City in North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak.

You must know that there are only [-] states in Malaysia.

And Lao Li's political means made the actual rulers of Malaysia realize that if the Lion City is allowed to be in Malaysia, Lao Li will sooner or later overthrow their Malay priority.

It is also because of this that Malaysia vomited it out after eating the Lion City.

After Zheng Li conveyed the news that he was going to meet with the Malaysian leader through the official channels of the Lion City and Malaysia, the Malaysian side was a little panicked.

Zheng Li killed all the diplomats in the Lion City, but that doesn't mean he killed the diplomats from other countries in the Lion City.

"Sir, we are willing to accept your offer and sell this piece of land in southern Johor to you."

Malaysian officials circled an area on the monitor.

The area is about [-] square kilometers, and it is located in Johor, which directly borders the Lion City.

Zheng Li is very familiar with Malaysia, having lived in Kuala Lumpur for a long time.

He also has his own understanding of the geographical areas of Malaysia, even if he does not understand, it is easy for artificial intelligence to process these basic information.

Zheng Li took a glance and knew that the land transferred by the other party was high-quality land, and the high-quality land here means that it is suitable for building a city.

At the same time, it is easy to build a railway or road directly related to the Lion City.

Zheng Li nodded and said: "Okay. The relevant materials and conditions will be sent to you after Malaysia passes the parliamentary bill."

The area of ​​the Lion City is only 728.6 square kilometers, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as a tiny place.

The area of ​​Johor is close to [-] square kilometers.

This time, the Lion City has twice the original area.

But Zheng Li didn't have much joy in opening up territories, and it wasn't in the feudal era.

Russia's area is larger than China's, but its economy is not as good as China's developed provinces.Land is an important factor of production, but its role has dropped too much compared to the feudal era.

Besides, Zheng Li does not intend to annex Malaysia.

The Malaysian side only tentatively proposed whether to give more of the life-prolonging potion, but after being rejected, they did not mention any more.

Instead, the focus is on bio-photovoltaics. The condition proposed by Malaysia is that bio-photovoltaics produced by the Lion City in the future, and Malaysia needs to obtain the right of first refusal.

Of course, regarding the specific restrictions on the right of first refusal, Malaysian officials and artificial intelligence have drawn up very detailed terms.

"I'm very happy to be able to reach this deal with Lion City.

Over the years, Malaysia and the Lion City have carried out extensive and in-depth exchanges and cooperation in the fields of economy, education, tourism, environment, and culture.

Friendly relations based on rational and pragmatic interests have always been a sharp weapon between Malaysia and the Lion City to avoid narrow racial or communitarianism.

Sir, this is your first visit to Malaysia after you took office as the head of the Lion City. In the days to come, Malaysia hopes to continue to maintain this good bilateral relationship with the Lion City.

Together to shape the geographical, historical, cultural, regional and geopolitical relationship between Malaysia and the Lion City in the new era. "

On the bright side, the Malaysian leader is very high-sounding.

What was said was almost all traditional diplomatic rhetoric.

Before 2013, the largest trading partner of the Lion City was always Malaysia.

But after 2013, Lion City's largest trading partner became Huaguo, and it has continued to this day.

In fact, Malaysia’s attitude towards the Lion City is not as friendly as imagined. Whether it is water supply issues, customs, immigration, quarantine and other issues, as well as the sovereignty of Pedra Branca, it has led to tensions between Malaysia and the Lion City. Relationships are periodically strained.

Compared with Malaysia, the Lion City is a country the size of a sesame seed, but the Lion City is not inferior to Malaysia in terms of national strength.

More than 70.00% of the Chinese population in the Lion City is a big problem for Malaysia.

The Lion City of Lao Li and Xiao Li has a meritocracy, while Malaysia has a race-based policy.

The Lion City developed into a developed country within two generations, while Malaysia developed much more slowly.

This is a harsh verdict on the way Malaysia treats its non-Malays.The Malay elite is embarrassed by the tens of thousands of highly qualified non-Malays who, having moved to the Lion City, have helped make the Lion City an unprecedented economic success.

After the Master took over the Lion City, Malaysia dared not make any moves.

Because of Zheng Li's fixed-point blasting ability, for a country with a system like Malaysia, it is a weapon comparable to a nuclear bomb.

Can't afford to hide.

After the official communication is over, the private communication with the Malaysian royal family is much more direct.

"Sir, I would like to ask you a question, that is, if you abandon your physical body, can you achieve immortality in the virtual world?"

For a member of the ruling royal family who has never felt material pressure, his main concern at this age is always how to live forever.

"It's not possible with today's technology.

Immortality in the virtual world requires the ability to store soul and memory in relevant media.

But there is no meaning, such eternal life has no meaning.

Endless drifting in the dark can never find an end. "

The royal family sitting opposite Zheng Li showed a terrified expression. "Can't there be some kind of technological means to access the virtual world?"

"Can.

But you can't guarantee that the virtual world will run forever.

Moreover, hackers in the virtual world in the future can locate your specific location.

Find the storage medium that stores your soul and memory, and you will be helpless.

Many people have similar ideas, but the final results are not very good.

To achieve eternal life, the trinity of body, soul and memory is the safest.

Of course, it is easy to prolong life, but impossible to live forever.

Or rather I've never seen it. "

Forever is a scary word, and forever also has a deadline in the context of Blue Star.

It's just that for the rich, they want to live as long as they want their wealth to be enough to support their good life.

"Sir, I've always wondered why we haven't encountered aliens in such a vast universe.

Maybe you are.

But for the vastness of the universe, it is only you and the alien civilization represented by you, is this too little? "

In fact, this question was not what the royal family wanted to ask, but was instructed by the people behind him in American.

This is also the confusion of many science fiction writers over the years.

Because in their conception, various alien civilizations have been conceived, and human beings will sail in the universe in the future.

Then it will fight or trade with various alien civilizations.

Zheng Li flipped through his memory and said:
"Blue Star has a theory called the Great Filter Theory.

Roughly, in the process of civilization developing from planetary civilization to interstellar civilization, there are critical links that have been seriously underestimated.

These links acted as a kind of filter. Even though the universe had produced many lives or primary civilizations in the past, they failed to pass through these links and continue to develop into interstellar civilizations. "

"Sir, what are the specific links in this, is it possible for Blue Star to cross over?"

"The fundamental reason is that the development of science and technology has reached a bottleneck, and intelligent life is unwilling to continue to invest a lot of resources in the field of scientific research.

If you didn't invest in it before, the research on technology is not linear, and it doesn't mean how much you invest will definitely give you as much return.

On the eve of the real crisis, it is too late to solve the problem after detecting the relevant signs, whether it is to go to space or solve it internally.

Then it either dies or falls back to the original age, and repeats the cycle.

There are still many difficult links to overcome.

This is against the desire nature of intelligent life. "

Zheng Li spoke very straightforwardly, and at the same time gave examples.

Although the mage civilization itself has limited interstellar travel capabilities, its ability to communicate with interstellar civilizations is very strong.

They have communicated with many civilizations in the universe, and none of the civilizations that can really go to the interstellar age has one in a thousand.

Another important reason is that there are more and more supporters and insufficient resources, which leads to the decline of social vitality.

The part of the society that creates value through labor will support those who do not work in various ways.

When productivity is low, there are few groups to be supported, and even if they are supported, the quality of life is very low.

A minority of them have the motivation and ability to push technology forward to increase productivity.

This is the fundamental reason for the progress of science and technology in modern society.

With the explosive growth of productivity, more and more groups are being supported, and at the same time, the lives of the top groups being supported have reached a high level.

No matter how advanced technology is, it will not make life better for this group of people.

But they have the ability to dominate the flow of resources.

This has led to the lack of corresponding resources for scientific research, which has stagnated.

If it weren't for Zheng Li's arrival, the state of technological stagnation on Blue Star would last for a long time.

Wait until the metaverse-related technologies achieve breakthroughs, including chips, optics, software, and artificial intelligence.

Then enter the era of the metaverse.

Metaverse is indeed the next breakthrough point of Bluestar Technology integration, or VR.

Zheng Li turned the node that was about to enter the VR era into a virtual world.

But the virtual world will not allow productivity to explode, it can create more wealth out of thin air.

However, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of too many people being supported.

The next thing to do is to make everyone a provider.

The ultimate explosion of productivity is achieved by artificial intelligence and bio-photovoltaics.

Controllable nuclear fusion is actually more efficient, and the technical route is more promising.

After all, bio-photovoltaics cannot be applied to spacecraft, but there are many more application scenarios for controllable nuclear fusion.

The problem is that Zheng Li doesn't understand. After taking over CERN, he spent part of his energy on promoting controllable nuclear fusion.

In the past few years, breakthroughs in some key technical nodes have indeed been achieved, but there is still a long way to go before landing.

Zheng Li is actually very curious about how optimistic the scientists of Blue Star 50 years ago wrote in the book based on the expected 50 years for the realization of controllable nuclear fusion.

"I roughly understand that the root cause is that scientific research is too difficult."
